I like!!!

This would be great for the Digidash I want to eventually daisy chain to the LCDash on my Locost.

Seems like there should be a button that toggles between a few different configs? is this even possible, with memory limits and all? Possibly put the added gauge configs in a directory on the flash drive?

I think it would be cool to have a display all gauge setup like that, then a second page with at least two large Speedo/tacho gauges.

I also really like this setup. Can you switch between the original layout and this one? For cruising, I'd like the original layout where I more easily see RPM and AFR however, when tuning, all the extra parameters will be handy.

Yeah I know that feature is on the list. My intention is to have at least two daisy chained together, and the last one doing the logging to a remote mounted flash drive, I think a 1gig flash drive could log many hours of driving. I've got a SD card adaptor working as well, so that's another option.

This LCDash is just so cool, tons of capability. Now I need to work on a bracket to mount it under the dash of my 68 Cougar temporarily until i get the locost up and running later in the year, or next year.......

These setups are not configured to be ms compatible they simply talk to a pc through HyperTerminal...
I am just trying to get an understanding of what people want to look at while they are driving. Based on the opinions of the ms community is how we will decide on writing the firmware for the next gauge layout.
If you are really interested in messing with the gauges you can go to http://lcdash.com/source/LCDash/Documentation/ and change parameters of the analog gauge to make it larger.

That Scope mode is truly amazing. I would venture to say that no other LCD screen intended for EFI display can come close to what the LCDash can do for any price...
You guy's really did your homework on the hardware, now the firmware is progressing at breakneck speed.
